What’s behind Saudi Arabia’s increase in crude oil prices for Asian market?
According to Bloomberg, the increase is in line with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to keep prices up amid a fading risk of war in the Middle East. The outbreak of the war in Gaza in October led to spillover conflicts throughout the region, including strikes by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on international shipping in the Red Sea. Concerns of an all-out war rose further with Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel last month, though Israel's response was perceived as limited, Al-Monitor reported at the time.

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 will need around $1 trillion in investments over several years: Report
Debt buildup in the Saudi economy will remain in focus. However, S&P expects its growth to be gradual and concentrated with companies in the PIF portfolio. Moreover, the report expects real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.2 percent in 2024 and 5 percent in 2025 for Saudi Arabia. It also notes that the non-oil economy will continue to grow, contributing a larger share of the economy due to government investments in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 projects. Saudi Arabia still faces some risks including higher-for-longer interest rates and geopolitical risks, which could mean higher spreads for the weakest companies. In addition, banks will have to find alternative ways to fund their growth. This is why the report expects the increase in leverage to be gradual.

China vs. U.S.: Who’s Winning Hearts and Minds?
The U.S. is currently beating China in the competition for leadership approval in much of the world. But, as a new Gallup report shows, this approval can depend a great deal on who is in power. Based on relative net approval scores, the U.S. enjoyed an advantage in 81 out of 133 countries that Gallup surveyed in 2023, while China had an advantage in 52. The United States' net approval advantage was largest in Kosovo at +154 points (+78 U.S. net approval and -76 Chinese net approval). China’s advantage was largest in Russia at -132 points (-82 U.S. net approval and +50 Chinese net approval). In any country, net approval of the U.S. minus net approval of China results in a relative net approval score between 200 and -200. A score of 200 means everyone approves of U.S. leadership and disapproves of Chinese leadership, while a score of -200 indicates the opposite. A score of 0 suggests parity, where the U.S. and China share the same net approval score.
